Movie Review: In ‘Testament of Ann Lee,’ a blazing Amanda Seyfried can make you believe anything

Published by Parlour News

Filmmakers Mona Fastvold and Brady Corbet are clearly fascinated by ambition. They’re fascinated, too, by dreamers — difficult dreamers, brilliant but demanding people who have plans they must fulfill no matter the personal cost. Movie Review: In ‘Testament of Ann Lee,’ a blazing Amanda Seyfried can make you believe anything They’re also interested in dreamers who cross the ocean to America with these difficult, lofty plans. And, finally, they find singular actors to play these roles. You could say the couple, artistic and life partners, is on a roll. They together made “The Brutalist” last year,directed by Corbet and co-written with Fastvold, which won Adrien Brody an Oscar. And now, with Fastvold directing, we have “The Testament of Ann Lee” — a stirring and, yes, difficult movie that features a blazing Amanda Seyfried as the Shaker leader. It’s a performance that will knock your 18th-century socks off. There are, of course, key differences. For one thing, unlike fictional architect Lázló Tóth in “The Brutalist,” Ann Lee was a real person — a woman whose life …

Published by Parlour News

By Rollo Ross and Danielle Broadway Amanda Seyfried learns about Shaker founder for film ‘The Testament of Ann Lee’ LOS ANGELES, Dec ‍24 – Amanda Seyfried acknowledges she knew little about Ann Lee, the 18th-century founder of the Shaker movement, before portraying her in “The Testament of Ann Lee,” a film opening Christmas Day that explores the visionary leader’s quest for equality and communal living. “I was surprised that I didn’t learn about her in my own American history classes,” Seyfried – who starred ⁠in “Mamma Mia!” – told Reuters. “This woman is ⁠the leader of the Shaker movement.” The Shakers were a Christian movement also known ⁠for their celibacy and ecstatic worship to shake off evil.

Cannes 2025: Neeraj Ghaywan’s Homebound is a timely, trenchant testament to our times | Bollywood News

Published by Webster

Neeraj Ghaywan first came to Cannes in 2012, as part of a huge crew festooned with colourful gamchhas, for the premiere of the Anurag Kashyap’s Gangs Of Wasseypur. In 2015, he was selected in Un Certain Regard for his debut feature, ‘Masaan’, which won the FIPRESCI prize. And now he’s back in the same section with Homebound, a film as intensely personal, dealing with issues as crucial, or perhaps even more so in new India where the fissures between the privileged and the marginalised are deepening with every passing day. Starring Ishaan Khatter, Vishal Jethwa, Janhvi Kapoor and a strong supporting cast, the film has been produced by Dharma, with Martin Scorsese finding a very honourable mention on the credit list. The genesis of the film tells us how current ‘events’ can become not just the superstructure of the film, but also part of its texture. In 2020, the New York Times published staff writer Basharat Peer’s lengthy investigation pieced from a photograph which began being shared on social media platforms during an early Covid …

Vizhinjam port a testament to Oommen Chandy’s vision, says MLA Sunny Joseph

Vizhinjam port a testament to Oommen Chandy’s vision, says MLA Sunny Joseph

Published by Parlour News

Congress MLA Sunny Joseph on Friday (May 2) said the Vizhinjam port project stands as a testament to the unwavering vision and commitment of the late Oommen Chandy, calling him the true “development hero” behind its realisation. Speaking at a public meeting held at Gandhi Square near the Collectorate after a Congress-led demonstration, Mr. Joseph asserted that, regardless of what others now claim, the people of Kerala recognise Vizhinjam as the result of Oommen Chandy’s steadfast efforts. “The truth is, Oommen Chandy was a handful of nautical miles ahead of the national development vision — a fact engraved in the public conscience of the country,” he said. He criticised the Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] for going ahead with the same Vizhinjam contract they had once labelled a ₹6,000-crore corruption scandal. “Those who had levelled serious corruption charges are now implementing the same project without changing a single clause. Not a speck of corruption has been proven,” he added, accusing the ruling front of discarding political ethics. The event was organised by the Kannur …
